It’s always a story when a player plays his former team for the first time, especially if it wasn’t really up to the player to have parted ways. Gunner Olszewski might not be the most notable name on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster, nor the easiest to pronounce, but it is a significant one as they prepare to face his former team today, the New England Patriots.
A former small-school college free agent, Olszewski carved out a niche as a return man while in New England, even earning All-Pro honors in 2020, but Bill Belichick was willing to let him go this offseason as a restricted free agent.
